Hands-on experience is integral to the CMD curriculum and occurs throughout the four years. It starts with small projects, case studies, and simulations, and builds toward significant projects for real organizations. Through Ithaca's renowned internship programs, and our program contacts with CMD alumni, you have the opportunity to intern in locations both at home and abroad.
For example, The Ithaca College London Center provides internships if you would like to explore the possibility of an international career. Here are several examples of internships CMD students have experienced while studying in London:
If your passion tends toward public policy, social change, or national institutions, Ithaca's Washington, D.C. Center is ideal.
The Park School's Communication Program in Los Angeles offers professional entrée to organizations in the home of the entertainment industry.
You can intern at a local organization in Ithaca during the fall or spring semesters while taking classes on campus.
Summer internships are available in Los Angeles, London, and Washington, D.C., or you can find one in your own hometown.
Ultimately, the choice of internships and professional opportunities is limited only by your personal aspirations.
